Riders, this guide is for you. No matter what brand or type of motorcycle you ride, Elephant is pleased to be able to offer you motorcycle insurance coverage that will meet your needs through our partner Dairyland Insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll cover what motorcycle insurance is, how it works, what it covers, and information on typical cost and discounts available. In this post, we\u2019ll also share some important safety tips and information on how it compares and contrasts with car insurance, so you can be informed before you look into what policy might be right for you. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n Motorcycle insurance protects you from being on the hook for the bulk of the cost of potential damages to your motorcycle \u2014 and from the cost of causing an accident. And, as with most kinds of insurance, different levels of motorcycle insurance coverage are available that bring varying types of coverage to the policyholder.<\/p>\n Both types of insurance protect you from the cost of damaging your vehicle and from the cost of causing an accident.\u00a0 Like car insurance, motorcycle insurance is required in almost all states. There are a few differences worth noting, though.<\/p>\n Yes, it does! Many states require basic insurance for mopeds and scooters to cover the cost of losses in an accident. Getting motorcycle insurance for a moped or scooter is usually less expensive than insurance for actual motorcycles, but the best way to find out what a policy will cost you is to get a quote since each individual and each policy is different.<\/p>\n You can technically own a motorcycle without insurance, but if you plan to ride it legally, you’ll need motorcycle insurance in almost every state \u2014 48, to be exact. The only two states that don\u2019t mandate it are Florida and New Hampshire.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the big deal?\u201d you might ask, \u201cwho would ever find out?\u201d Well, for starters, in the 48 states that legally require you to buy motorcycle insurance, you can\u2019t register your motorcycle without proof of insurance. Even if you risked not getting insurance or registering your motorcycle, getting caught without insurance or not having the proper coverages<\/a> (i.e. if you\u2019re pulled over for a traffic violation<\/a> or are in an accident), you could be faced with a range of serious consequences, such as:<\/p>\n These consequences may sound alarmist, but don\u2019t worry! Simply opting to follow your state\u2019s rules and getting the right motorcycle insurance means you\u2019ll never have to worry about these situations. It also means potentially saving thousands of dollars in the long run. Requirements vary by state on minimum coverage, but between us at Elephant and our friends at Dairyland, we\u2019ll always make sure your policy meets your state\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n As we mentioned, motorcycle insurance works a lot like car insurance, and the purchase process is no exception. You\u2019ll start by getting a quote of some kind, where you\u2019ll:<\/p>\n At Elephant Insurance, you can buy motorcycle insurance (from Dairyland) through us at any time, and coverage usually starts immediately. Once you get a quote, you’ll confirm your policy. From there, you can tweak it or compare if needed to make sure you get the coverage that’s exactly right for you.<\/p>\n Like car insurance, the cost of motorcycle insurance depends on a number of factors, including:<\/p>\n Together with Dairyland Insurance, we offer policies that can start as low as $6 a month. However, the best way to get an idea for the cost of motorcycle insurance is always to get a quote.<\/p>\n Another reason getting a quote is the best way to see what you can save? Both Elephant and Dairyland offer a variety of motorcycle insurance discounts. If you\u2019re an existing Elephant customer, you already know we love offering discounts<\/a> to our customers. That’s why we offer a bundling discount<\/a> for customers who have auto insurance policies with us and add motorcycle insurance to their policies!<\/p>\n We also love partnering with other providers who also love a discount, like Dairyland, who believe in affordability, value, and cost savings. They reward their customers with discounts for the smart decisions they\u2019re already making, like if:<\/p>\n These are just a sampling of the discounts Dairyland offers, all designed to make your policy the perfect combination of quality coverage and affordable.<\/p>\n As we shared earlier, motorcycles are often more dangerous than cars. We put together a list of six safety tips every motorcyclist should know<\/a> ahead of their next ride. Here are a couple of tips to get you on the road to a safer ride:<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re an Elephant customer, or simply looking at different insurance coverage options, it’s important to us that you’re as safe as possible on the road.
